Here's a question for you ...

Granted what has recently happened during the prisoner abuse scandel has left a sad mark on America. However, let me ask this very simple question.

Given the fact that soldiers of this country has acted inappropriately, can you think of many other countries that would have bothered to extend the time and resources necessary to bring those people found guilty to justice?

Do you think the Russians or Germans did this during World War II? I didn't see many sessions of congress taking place in Russia during that time to address prisoner abuse. Oh wait, Russia was communist -- my bad!

I'm glad to live in America and I'm proud of this country. Warts and all, this country is the best place on Earth to live.

Some good stuff in here... I agree with you on balance... keep up the good work, Brother Aphie...

Exactly...But I've come to the conclusion that there is nothing that America can do that will EVER change how the world views us. When we do something 'right' its expected because we're a super power, but then we're accused of being arrogant....
